No that was a rumor on some of the forums but AJjr has been on scholly ever since he got to Tuscaloosa. I believe CAJ made a vague comment a year or so ago that he had options available if we signed an additional player and the clear assumption was that AJjr could be moved to walk-on. I think it was in reference to Kira Lewis while we still had Jared Butler on scholarship but since Butler transferred to Baylor, Kira received his scholarship instead of AJjr's.

Re: Trendon Watford

I heard on the radio that Penny Hardaway and the entire Memphis stafff which includes from NBA player Mike Miller will be at the BJCC today to see Watford. They also said some Duke assistant(s) will be there also. I hope Avery, Pelphrey and Petway make the short trip also.

That must have been it since teams get 13 scholarships.

Re: Trendon Watford

Not sure what the scuttlebutt is about Watford. Has he or his family given any "hope" that he would stay in state when schools like Duke is in play?

If Avery could pull this off this would be a huge recruiting victory.

And, as I understand Watford's game, he's exactly the kind of player we are missing right now.

Alabama has long been considered the favorite for Watford. Then, Memphis hired Penny Hardaway, putting them into play thanks to PH's AAU connections. LSU has been making a push in recent months. The three schools seemed to be pretty much tied in hopes of getting TW.

Duke just offered this week. They are getting in on him pretty late. Hopefully, that will hurt their chances.

Duke is probably the only team, other than UK, which could come in that late and pull it off...
